Not feminist as in "women should be included in the draft" but feminist as in "being drafted is a violation of bodily autonomy for any gender".

The draft should not exist. Drafting people into the military is a violation of human rights. You should not be able to force someone to risk their life. If you can't find enough people who care about a conflict to keep it going then it simply shouldn't keep going. You can't even force someone to donate a kidney using government power, why the fuck can you force them to donate their whole body and life to a cause they don't agree with or don't care about?

IMPORTANT!!!

I’ve only seen like one person talk about this and it’s super important that this gets out there

Multiple punk symbols and sayings have been added to the FBI’s domestic terrorism guide

Things included are

The symbol for anarchy

ACAB and 1312

The three arrows pointing down in a circle

Eat the rich

Those are a few but it also mentions anything anti-fascist and anti capitalist

So if you live in the US please be careful

the way we police bodies in our modern era is just insane to me. like for example i'm thinking about muscles. literally everyone has them. why are muscular bodies "masculine"? every single person on this earth has muscles and can have them be in any size and tone. like, have you ever met or seen a woman who's a carpenter? a construction worker? a farmer? a warehouse or factory worker? an athlete? a firefighter? an emt? a powerlifter? a body builder?

women can be absolutely stacked. women can be fucking ripped. some women are born with absolutely jacked muscle structure without any working out involved. women get muscular and people act like every single woman is some waifish leaf blowing in the wind- wake up, open your eyes, what are you even saying? look at the world around you, where are you living?

i feel insane living in a world where we either think women don't have muscles at all, or they have muscles but they can't ever get big and are inherently pathetically weak. we have modern science and photographs and videos at our fingertips and yet here we are really out here still believing that men strong women weak. it hurts my brain.

no amount of women hating men on the internet will compare to the acts of misogynistic violence men commit. you can control the media you want to consume, you can not control the acts of others out in the real world. stop comparing women posting “i hate men” to men killing women out there. misandry isn’t real.

I need to prove something to myself. reblog if you believe that womanhood is defined by being a woman and not by having certain body parts. I don't want my body parts to be the definition of my existence (my mom says I'm misogynistic if I believe this)

i feel fr so bad for this next generation of girls. andrew tate stans in their middle school classes. genital inspection for sports seen as a reasonable proposal. abortion rights being obliterated in all conservative states. black and intersex girls being banned from sports because their testosterone is too high. the era where you can say misogynistic things to women who do wear makeup and call it feminism. beauty industries capitalizing off of body positivity and body neutrality being stomped into the ground. anti aging routines at the age of 15 and people willing to film any mistake disabled women make for millions of people to laugh at. people digging through girls' personal information to expose the fact that they have a mental illness to deplatform them. this is a fucking nightmare.

Anything you can do, I can do bleeding.

Resting while I am on my period does not make me less competent.

Demonizing menstruation doesn't help spread information, mysticizing menstruation doesn't help spread information. Going completely neutral is the only way forward.

Periods are an expulsion of waste. They're no more gross than pissing is. The social etiquette of "excuse me I have to go to the bathroom" shouldn't change because someone puts a pad in their pocket before they head off.

Period blood is blood, along with endometrial cells. It isn't more dangerous or gross than the blood that comes out of a wound. It should be treated with the same level of caution because of the potential for disease transmission, but it's not some toxic sludge that you're going to die from looking at wrong. If blood gets on a nonporous surface a simple antibacterial wipe will remove it and prevent the spread of most potential diseases. For a nonporous surface like fabric soap and water may be enough, or hydrogen peroxide if the stain is stubborn. More careful steps may need to be taken if the blood may or does contain HIV, but it's important to remember that HIV can only be contracted by blood-to-blood contact or sex. Blood from a person with HIV isn't that much more dangerous than regular blood, just try not to touch blood directly in general and wash your hands correctly after handling soiled objects and you'll be fine.

Periods are not your body "punishing you" for not being pregnant. Your body is just a container for you, it doesn't have any feelings that you don't have. If you don't want kids but feel guilty about not having them, it is not your uterus making you feel guilt. That's you being reminded by your period to feel guilt because you were conditioned growing up to view everyone with a uterus as valuable only in terms of their ability and desire to carry children. Anthropomorphizing the function of your reproductive system is the way you deal with the guilt of not living up to your societal "purpose" of bearing children. Everyone who doesn't have kids, has kids late, or has a journey regarding children that's different from the societal norm deals with that to a certain extent, although people who were raised as girls/women tend to deal with it more. It's a line of thinking that you will likely need to work through, either alone or with a sympathetic therapist, in order to be content. Also, if your periods feel like a punishment that could be a sign that something is wrong.

Periods aren't supposed to disable you. Cramping should be at a "oops I ate something that didn't quite settle with me" level not a "cosplaying as a wounded animal" level. You should be able to pop your over-the-counter pain medication of choice and not have to think about the fact that you're on your period aside from the occasional bathroom trip to change your menstrual product. Bleeding through pads or tampons on an hourly basis isn't normal. Fainting from blood loss or pain isn't normal. Being unable to complete daily tasks, or completing them with difficulty, due to pain is not normal. Nausea or vomiting that interferes with your ability to stay fed and hydrated isn't normal.

Irregular periods can be normal, some people just don't get periods on a consistent schedule. Going more than 35 days between can be a sign that something is wrong. Going more than 90 days without a period, sometimes called "losing" your period, can be a sign that something is wrong. If you don't want to have a period, forcing yourself to "lose" it through starvation, overexercise, or stress is not a safe way to do it. These behaviors can have other long-term consequences, including premature death. Hormonal birth control can be taken consistently, skipping periods, with no excess effect on fertility or personal health that we're aware of.

Emotionality is normal before and during your period. Crying at a cat video that you would normally scroll past without thinking is normal. It's ok to be frustrated with emotionality, it can be annoying to feel out of control. It's also ok to withdrawal from others for a short time when you feel unable to socialize. Panic attacks, depression, sleep disturbances, loss of interest, and other major mood disturbances are not normal and can be a sign of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). PMDD is as serious as other depressive disorders and can lead to suicide.

Your reproductive system isn't self-contained, it's connected to the rest of your body via blood supply and other mechanisms. Even if you plan to have a hysterectomy or other permanent birth control at some point it's still important to get "period problems" checked out to ensure the rest of your body isn't affected.

People deal with their periods how they deal with them and it's none of anyone's business. Someone isn't lazy for not feeling up to activities during their period. People who eat junk food on their period aren't "making themselves feel worse". Judging someone's choice in menstrual products is so fucking weird and rude, yes I am judging you back. People who skip their periods using birth control (hi!) aren't ruining their bodies with chemicals. People who choose not to use birth control or don't use it for that purpose aren't choosing to suffer for no reason. People are infinitely complex in the ways they choose to deal with inconvenience and challenge and tearing each other down for not being the same is unproductive. Period stigma can only end when we work together, trans and cis, intersex and dyadic, all gender presentations, races, sizes, and abilities, to make it work.

In the theme of the last paragraph, if anything in this post is incorrect or uninclusive, please let me know and I'll fix it asap.

you ever just go about your day but your brain is haunted by Margaret Atwood whispering, "Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy: that you're strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur"

Another example of 'defending free speech' bullshit being used to oppress and hurt LGBTQA+ people

Once again if your argument is that 'We HaVe To DeFeND AnD SuPPoRT FREe SpEech INcLuding tHe RiGhTS TO OppRess MInOrity AnD tHe OppResseD' you are not a good person, you are not moral nor you are an intellectual.

It's not actually about free speech, you just want to use it as an excuse to be a bigot.

Imagine having the audacity to claim that you are for inclusivity but then removing a safe fucking space sticker for LGBT people. That school is not and never strive for inclusivity, it's just pr speak bullshit and at the end of the day they still defending oppression

i am so SICK of the amount of intersection between feminism and transphobia on here. literally why is the amount of TERFS on here insane??? like it makes no sense to say you're a feminist and then see these women who automatically are already even more oppressed because they're trans (just their identity btw) and youre gonna be like "stay oppressed you freak we dont accept you" like why are we, WOMEN, being the oppressive ones? aren't we supposed to show that we're accepting?

i do not care about men’s rights.

to act as if men’s problems were and are caused by anything and anyone but men is intellectually dishonest or plain stupid. the patriarchy this, the patriarchy that. i am fully aware that the patriarchy does not 100% benefit men, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t designed to. men have higher suicide rates, are constantly fucked over in divorce and alimony cases, blah blah, but whose fucking fault is that? men will complain about child custody but will turn around and advocate for the fact that women are naturally more inclined to care for children, that we’re softer and, quite frankly, just breeding machines. men are in the light they hate specifically because of the light they placed women in; you hate that you’re not allowed to show weakness, but you’re the ones who actively spout that idea. i have never known a woman to tell me or a man that men shouldn’t cry, but i’ve seen many boys go around telling their buddies to suck it up — so who’s really the problem? nobody can care for you if you do not first care about yourself, and that’s why i ultimately don’t care anymore.

women owe you nothing. we built, and continue to build on, feminism for us. instead of complaining about what men don’t get, start providing it for yourselves. open up to your friends, and to the friends who will be opened up to, don’t just dismiss it as weakness. don’t immediately run to women, start with your community. women have to start by supporting each other before we can go out and make a difference, so, men, start by supporting each other.

despite men not caring about men, i can confidently say that i have never known a man to care about women. some care about a woman, sure, maybe even a few, but never women in general. i have never known a man, in his own time, to speak about the injustices women face and how he contributes to it, i have never known a man to even think of that. i will not go ahead and tweet “men’s suicide rates are higher” when you refuse to even think about it yourselves. men’s issues are only ever brought up to silence women, or lower their voices, and it’s disgusting. i refuse to speak up for someone who only speaks over me.

men have issues, but there are no “men’s issues”. you have issues because you are a human being (unfortunately) and we have women’s issues because we are not treated as such.

i do not give a fuck about “men’s rights”, “men’s issues” because 1) they don’t exist, and, 2) i will not give my time to something you yourself don’t see as a problem, you fucking idiots.
